Basic Character Info
Name: Katashi
Village: Kirigakure
Rank: chuunin
Gender: ??
Age: ??
Height: 4'6"
Weight: 686 lbs
Body Build: Slender and sinewy. S/he looks to be a growing child that hasn't quite filled out.
Eyes: A bright, piercing shade of blue. They still look rather wide and childish in shape and are constantly sad looking, but have had every iota of innocence wiped from them. There's a scar at the edge of the right eye that runs down to near his/her mouth, making it squint a bit at all times. Still, s/he has the kind of eyes that make you think twice before attacking.
Hair: Ash-colored hair that's cut rather short and shaggy. It sticks out a bit on either side of his/her head where the hair naturally clumps together. Bangs are cut shaggy and uneven across the browline so that alot sticks down in his/her eyes; one piece sticks further out than the rest and lays across his/her face. A rather messy hairstyle, but Katashi doesn't seem too concerned with it.
Clothing: An unremarkable hoodie with a black torso and exceedingly baggy, worn red sleeves; pokets along the front of the jacket with A high-collared white shirt underneath. Pants are slightly snugger, though still loose and a bit torn at the bottom (from where they'd snag on the wheels); oddly, the pants ar covered in zippers in various places with long zippers running down the outside of each leg. Chunky skates with red strapping and steel toes; have 12 wheels lined up in 4 sets of 3. Large skate goggles are worn around the neck and are engraved in the middle with the Mist insignia.
Personality: A very quiet and polite person, Katashi doesn't usually speak up much. In fact, s/he never speaks outright. S/he usually relies on gestures or teammates to convey what it is exactly s/he is trying to get across, which suits him/her fine, even if it tends to wear on the nerves of other people not as good at charades. As one could imagine, Katashi's lack of speaking only adds to the confusion of others as to his/her gender, which seems to suit him/her just fine as well, since s/he doesn't seem to see the need to distinguish. S/he seems quite reliant on orders and will usually stick to the person s/he deems worthy of the highest respect (usually his/her teacher, Jun-Sai); once attached to a person in this manner, Katashi is willing to lay down his/her life for said person.
Additional Info/Notes:

Character Background
Family History: No one's quite certain where exactly s/he came from, who his/her parents were, or even his/her gender. Katashi's not saying anything on the matter either.
Personal History: As far back as Katashi can remember, s/he's lived with her squadron just outside of the village of Kirigakure. S/he and all 49 of his/her fellow children were abducted from various surrounding towns, as well as offered up by families within the village for the Mist's CCP (Child Combatant Program).
The CCP was set up at the break of the war to provide discrete soldiers for stealth missions and suicide assaults. Children under the age of 10 were "donated" from families within the village (it was set that none with kekkei-genkai could donate) and other children that showed prospect taken from surrounding towns; the 1st Squadron housed and trained a total of 50 children, ranging from ages 5-10, amoung which was Katashi. The children were trained in guerilla warfare, basic ninjutsu without chakra affiliation, and tool usage. Off the books, tactics such as brainwashing, torture, and severe corpral punishment were used to keep the children in line and constantly obedient; children were starved, beaten, worked, and subject to subconcious learning in the hours they slept. However, this sort of training turned out unquestionable results: every mission run perfectly with only those meant to die dying. The village continued the program, initiating the 2nd Squadron, which worked out of the same camp.
Katashi excelled beautifully, becoming the favorite of every commander in the camp with his/her blind obedience and disinterest in anything other than what she was told to be interested in. This caused other children to distance themselves from him/her, sometimes even going to the extent of trying to sabotage the girl/boy (attempts which usually only ended badly for the othe party and eventually dwindled off).
However, amoung the new "recruits" of the 2nd Squadron was one Akio Samayaha, a true individual. Needless to say, he didn't function well in the camp at all, becoming the figurehead opposite to Katashi; where Katashi modelled obedience and submittal, Akio advocated individualism and unending questioning of what they were doing. Eventually, Akio had most, if not all, of the other children in the camp convinced of what was going on and how they were being used. But even with their training, there was no way that ten-year-olds could overthrow master shinobi, and even if they miraculously acheived that, there was nowhere for them to run to or hide. Somehow though, Akio became aware of one way they could all escape this life of nothing but pain and war.
In the final mission Katashi ever ran with the 1st Squadron his/her legs were crushingly injured beyond repair. As painful of a loss as it was for the Squadron, it was a great gain for the Experimental Medicines team back in Kirigakure. Katashi was rushed back to the village to become their next specimen.
That day, all other 82 children in the camp died from poison that had been laced into the entire food store by several sets of very small hands. The CCP program was terminated after the incident and the camp closed down, but not destroyed since the war demanded more attention.
Using the latest techniques at the village's disposal for weapon creation and other medial-related stuff (ect, ect...), Katashi's legs were hacked away and removed, replaced entirely from the hip down with pure steel automail that was slowly built onto his/her body over the process of months as soon as s/he was stablized. The medics continued to add various things, building the legs deeper up the body so that they would operate as naturally as a normal person's would. Unfortunately, still being so small and weak, Katashi couldn't walk normal with such heavy hardware to work with; with a streak of brilliance, one of the sum'bitches stuck 'em on a pair of rollerblades and sent him/her on his/her way. (The legs operate on Katashi's chakra. S/he can walk and fight without the skates, but the sheer weight of the legs drains chakra much faster without the skates.)
With such positive feedback about Katashi's performance in the CCP, s/he was granted position as chuunin and passed around to various squads to learn basic ninjutsu. Despite being rather proficient in these, s/he opted more for continuing the use of tools, which s/he had damn near mastered at such a young age. S/he was placed in Jun-Sai's cell after displaying her proficiency for the Mizukage and team of technicians that worked on him/her.
Yay.
Additional Info/Notes:
> Eye scar was attained on final mission as well. Several more can be found about the body from both said mission and the surgeries that ensued.
> Rollerblades are worn at all times; they operate fine of just about any surface since they operate the same as feet with a bit of chakra channeled into them.
